Ultimate Collection: 1991 (Innuendo)

I think the Blue Rock special is the EPK that was released by the band on VHS in 1991. I think there were snippets of the Geneva 90 gig on there that were shown whilst the regular version of Life Changes was on there - can't remember seeing a video for Millionaire though!

Great EPK though!!! Shame there was no proper video for Life Changes since it got pulled from release....

Actually on the subject of The Cross, I heard rumour of a Queen version of New Dark Ages - can anyone shed any light on that?

Thanks for your reply John , ever informative , can I ask one more question ? You mention a Queen demo of "Freedom Train" - who is on vocals Rogar or Freddie , Thanks . The tribute show broadcast on monday 25th november 1991 featured bits of the 1989 mike read interview , but the show was different , and ended with Nicky Campbell ( yes he off watchdog ) introducing the start of his show by reading out a fax from BM ,RT , JD and Jim Beach , talking about " As soon as we are able we would like to celebrate his life in the style to which he was accustomed" - I taped this show and have since put it on CD a couple of years ago and traded it with people in U.K , Italy , USA , so as far as know all the copies doing the rounds in collecting circles come from my original TDK tape - if anyone wants a copy on cdr ( full soundboard )post here , and I will trade for Queen+ P.R dvd's Italy , wembley etc

The LP features some additional edits that you haven't mentioned, namely Headlong (same as the GH2 version), I Can't Live With You (4:04), All God's People (a tiny edit at 3:53), and The Hitman (3:43).

Also, for your 1995 section, the DVD of 'Made In Heaven - The Films' features 29 second excerpts of the 9 video tracks on the track selection screen, whilst the LP of 'Made In Heaven' has a 4:25 edit of 'I Was Born To Love You'.

Finally, Greatest Flix III has slightly different audio for Barcelona (4:25; different only in the first couple of seconds), Heaven For Everyone (4:44; slightly different lyrics in the intro), and the video of 'Under Pressure' has a four second longer instrumental section in it.

That's all the corrections for now, many thanks for all your hard work in compiling these incredible lists!

Sorry, I also forgot to ask - did you intentionally leave out the tracks by Queen + Paul Rodgers (both on ROTC and the Official Downloads) or is this just an accidental omission?

Forgive me for bumping this thread, but a thought just entered my mind: in 1991, after Innuendo was released, the band were reported to have entered the studios again to record material for non-album B-sides. As we know, they started to work on songs for another album, but is it possible that the only non-album B-side from the Innuendo era - 'Lost Opportunity' - was recorded during these sessions?

But wasn't there only about 4 weeks between the release of the Innuendo album and the I'm Going Slightly Mad single?

is there a demo of Bijou??

+ DJ Rembrandt - The Show Must Go On (Trance Mix)

"Freddie Mercury, circa his most melodramatic, singing ‘The Show Must Go On’ vocally booted over the top of a Push inspired track. A faintly grim prospect in most peoples book I’ll wager. Which makes it pleasurable to find out that this is actually better than it would appear on paper. The backing track itself is easily strong enough as a stand-alone dub. The production is crystal clear with a thunderously good break and riff, damn close quality wise to that of an actual Push record. Freddie unfortunately doesn’t fair quite as well. After a few listens the mixture develops a dubious charm of sorts but the vocal gets heavily lost at the tracks busiest stages. A greater shame though is that as a one sided record the opportunity to provide a dub was a gift horse missed indeed."

Also released on various compiltation CDs of trance music like "TranZmission #13" and others.

No: It is two smaller demos snapped together.
Yes: The two smaller demos still exist.
No: No one has heard it.

Track 9: Another One Bites The Dust (3:31)

The eYe instrumentals don't include backing vocals, and that isn't something good in my opinion.
One question: Does anybody know if there exists a karaoke version of Don't Try So Hard? It's one of my favourite songs, but I can't find an instrumental track anywhere.

Thank you, John S Stuart, for posting this article.

{Financially, the raw costs to produce a double LP are (relatively) not that more expensive to produce than a single disc. So to use this as an excuse is not really that creditable. (Besides some non-album B-sides could have been considered if there were not enough tracks to justify a 2 LP set).}


John, you're forgetting one thing - the cost of the double LP would have been absorbed by the band - not the record company. That still doesn't explain why they wouldn't have just crammed the uncut songs onto the LP (it would have been possible). The sound quality is not very good, even with the edits.

A good example is Metallica's ...And Justice For All, which lasts 65 minutes.  Metallica absorbed the cost of pressing it onto 2LP's.

Now you could probably add
